Celebrating 35 Years. Advancing What’s Possible.
Hosted annually, Seton Gala honors physicians, philanthropists, and community leaders whose compassion, service, and generosity have made a lasting impact on healthcare. The evening brings together mission-driven supporters to celebrate these honorees while investing in the future of care through innovation, collaboration, and community support.
Established in 1991, the Seton Society has recognized an extraordinary group of individuals whose leadership has helped shape healthcare and strengthen communities across the region. As the Seton Gala marks its 35th year, it continues to honor this legacy while advancing what’s possible for the patients and communities served by Ascension Saint Thomas.
